1/🧵 Our cell’s genes are rewired in MILD COVID 🧬

Stunning data in @Nature

White Cells (monocytes) switch gene expression from an established innate immune profile to a pro-clotting signature in COVID.

We’re immunocompromised.

Let’s unpack this…

Great read. Older article but unfortunately holds true

The two most accurate weather models in the world (GFS and ECMWF) are forecasting Hurricane #Fiona to strike Nova Scotia, Canada, as a major hurricane.

If this verifies, we're looking at possibly the strongest landfalling hurricane in Canadian history, with major impacts.

Why are 80% of journal articles I try to access through @AthabascaU not available to me. Missing #UBC

@darpon_A @Minervation Did you ever get answer for this? Looks like the webpage hasn't been updated for 9 years. #unaccessible #unusable #unreliable

@ShellyKr2021 What an impressive summary of the course and how it shaped and expanded not only your knowledge but your thinking. The sections built upon each other and flowed seamlessly. Really well done @ShellyKr2021

@ivanculum A4: There are clear benefits when a system is spending (#innovation, #data) but health consumerism WILL widen existing disparities as it is the unequal allocation of resources that leads to the SDOH in the first place. #MHST601

[Kate S @IamKateSau]

@gcmartin_ The possibilities related to IoMT AI/machine learning, EHRs and ehealth for both systems AND for patients is difficult to ignore. But I also cant ignore the HUGE potential to perpetuate disparities as people and places without means will be left behind.

[Kate S @IamKateSau]

@gcmartin_ As always, my informatics brain turns to data! We are accumulating more and more with ehealth initiatives, #IoMT connected devices, electronic health records...

[Kate S @IamKateSau]

@NataliejoannaK @gcmartin_ Check out this publication by Hamilton Health Sciences on the use of tech to transform care - there is a page for wearable devices and one for virtual health -two methods working well to serve the needs of this vulnerable population. https://t.co/Lx1lXOiveK

[Kate S @IamKateSau]

@sarah_scahill @gcmartin_ I am seeing promising moves from many companies towards supporting remote work long-term for this very reason. I know it has made a difference in my wellness working from home. Adding a nice summary article from the Canadian Journal of Career Development

#Digital inclusion as a social determinant of health. Healthcare systems should adopt a digital inclusion strategy that recognizes their community’s level of access to devices and Internet & supports patients in their initial technology use. #ehealth https://t.co/l634FDLGtm

A Value Based healthcare model may be more cost-effective AND improve in patient outcomes.

Would love to see more disaggregated data from major health systems in the US, not just in the usual 4 large buckets (White, AA, Hispanic, Asian), and by sex too; need real-time data from each state reporting a positive #COVID case, and links to EHR data for MV modeling

Natural Language Processing models have been used to detect SI in clinical notes, forecast risk online, and mine for psychiatric self-disclosure on Twitter. Patient care and public health policy can benefit from these models
